in hindsight, at least he and his boys didnt shoot the people giving him crap on twitter.

Nice work by Football Night In America analysts Rodney Harrison and Scott Pioli on the impact of the season-ending injury to Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey:

Pioli: "After looking at that 'street' list of centers, it doesn't look very good right now...Not only is he the best center in the league, he very well may be the best player on the offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers."

Harrison: "If I'm Mike Tomlin, I am concerned. I lose Maurkice Pouncey, who is the best center in the league. That offensive line, they can't block. The run game has been completely shut down. I believe that they miss Mike Wallace, and his ability to go down the field and open up. Big Ben, he wants plays down the field. They no longer have the luxury of depending on their defense to create three or four turnovers and score touchdowns."

The NFL echo chamber is amazing. Once something gains traction -- Pouncey is the best C in the NFL -- its almost impossible to stop.

I noticed this with the "exotic blitzes" line so many commentators use when talking about the Steelers. Meanwhile, the D has had trouble getting to the QB for years. I'm not sure "Fire X" is exotic anymore.

Or maybe Pouncey is better than fans realize.

Given that you read the same advanced stats sites I do that are tracking this stuff on a play to play basis, I think you know that those metrics indicate he's not as good as conventional wisdom suggests. That doesn't mean he's not very good, just that the whole best center thing is belied by (1) my own eyes and his regression last year and (2) the analysis done by sources I trust.

He slipped last year but was excellent the two prior years. I can't fault a guy for having his play drop off when he's saddled with two sacks of crap in Foster and Colon on either side.
